Enjoy A Blue Cheese Burger, Melted, Stuffed Or Dipped

A blue cheese burger can be enjoyed in a few ways. Crumble neat on top a burger pattie, stuffed into the patty or mixed into a dipping sauce, a topping or spread.

Crumble it on top the patties

This is simple, and only require that the crumbly cheese be sprinkled on top of your burger after it has been grilled.

The texture of this cheese means that it will melt beautifully onto your burger. The rich flavors are a perfect complement to any kind of red meat, from low cost ground beef to more expensive bison and Angus burgers. That's how Roz of la bella vita did her blue cheese burger with bacon, basil and gorgonzola.

Do give time for the crumbled cheese to melt and the flavour to mellow and permeate the patties before topping with the bun.

Make a sauce or spread

Make a blue cheese sauce or spread.

This is good for people who think the cheese is a bit too strong. Dilute the sharpness of this cheese with a little milk or cream or add some fresh herbs to tone it down.

Variations

It doesn't have to be a burger. It can be a blue cheeseburger cup: a beef and onion mixture baked in a wonton cup mixed and topped with excellent blue cheese. Or a bacon and beef slider kebabs. I much prefer a smaller portion as I am fairly petite in size.

What is blue cheese?

Blue cheese is a type of cheese that has the penicillium mold introduced to it. It looks like moldy cheese as there are blue or greyish-green veins or spots all over the yellow cheese. It has a strong sharp smell with a equally strong sharp taste. Some may smell a little like stinky feet. It really need some getting used to.

The appearance of blue cheese can be pretty scary. I mean dark-green spots or veins are usually associated with harmful molds. It seems counter-intuitive to eat mold. You certainly cannot eat it by the mouthful, it will gag.

It originated in Europe and is considered a premium cheese. Famous brands include Roquefort (French), Gorgonzola (Italian) and Blue Stilton (UK).
